SigWorks: Musical Theater Lab, a new developmental workshop which promotes new theatrical work, has selected Gun & Powder for this year's lab. Written by Cycle 24 alums Ross Baum (music) and Angelica Chéri (words), and selected out of 170 submissions, the show follows the story of Mary and Martha Clarke, fair-skinned African-American twin sisters who passed for white, and who, according to family legend, were outlaws.
Baum & Chéri will spend two intensive weeks working with the artistic staff at the renowned Signature Theatre near Washington, D.C. to refine their work. The program will culminate with staged readings for the public.
